501. Buy the ranch (2/5)
Wang Bo comforted the old man a few words, and the old man pulled him and started chattering.
This ranch was bought by his grandfather during World War II. At that time, the world was chaotic and the prices were low. His grandfather exchanged ten cows and five thousand New York dollars for four hundred acres of land.
Later, with the hard work of his grandfather and his father, the ranch expanded its area, acquired the surrounding land, and finally owned the current area of thousands of acres.
The ranch was passed from his grandfather to his father, and then it was passed to his hands, and then it ended. His two sons both hated agriculture and animal husbandry. They liked a life of bright lights and wine. They studied in the United States in college, and later stayed in the United States.
The old man is old and begins to miss the life of his family reunion. The reason why he is willing to sell the ranch during this bad market is because his wife just passed away this year.
Staying alone in the place where his wife died, the old man couldn't stand it anymore and finally decided to sell the ranch, even at a low price.
After the party ended, Wang Bo and Wensi signed the contract under Leonard's witness. The old man asked: "Which bank are you going to get a loan from?"
Wang Bo said: "Cash transaction."
Wensi and Leonard: “…”
His ranch was very good. When he was preparing for the event on Sunday, people kept talking to him about Wensi's ranch. In fact, there were many tycoons and rich people among these people, but they were not willing to invest in the ranch now.
In the words of one of the ranchers, "With that money, I might as well buy an apartment in Auckland. Once I sell it, I can earn money that I can only earn for years after I manage the ranch."
The main reason is the weather and economic reasons, which leads to people refusing to invest in animal husbandry. The South Island has been a bit drought since last year, and this year is even more drought. No one knows the situation next year and the following year.
Due to the global economic crisis, New Zealand's economy is very bad, and the prices of agricultural and animal husbandry products have not risen for a long time. Now many people's ranches are losing money, so they refuse to invest in land.
After the exchange, Wang Bo had some ideas and took advantage of the current trend of price reduction in farms in New Zealand, and if he couldn't buy one, he would get dozens of his ranches.
Although there are many large ranches in New Zealand, the overall size is still mainly small and medium-sized ranches. After all, this country is limited in area and it is impossible to have super ranches with an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers like the United States and Australia.
In the South Island, many pastures are only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of square meters. In order to be converted, they are only a few hectares or dozens of hectares. If they want to be converted into square kilometers, they will be even smaller, all of which are zero points and zero points and square kilometers.
Such ranches are not expensive as long as they are not land banking, especially since the market for farms and ranches is sluggish, which is even cheaper.
What he plans to sell to Asian immigrants in the future. Most Asian immigrants have a sense of land, and many immigrants are very rich, which should be a good business.
However, this kind of investment is professional, so he has to go back and ask the domineering president for advice, and he can't do it alone.
Starting Sunday, the carnival begins.
The so-called carnival is to give everyone a chance to have a leisure time, so that everyone can get to know each other, enhance their relationships, and enhance their connections. Therefore, the activities are organized by themselves and are small groups.
Fjord National Park is located on an alpine fault at the junction of the Pacific Plate and Australia and the Indian Ocean Plate. The unique landscape here is diverse, including fjords, rocky coasts, cliffs, alpine lakes and numerous waterfalls.
Therefore, there are many activities that can be carried out, such as mountaineering, rafting, fishing, camping, etc., which tend to be relaxed vacation streams. This is the theme of this year's carnival. Last year, it was gambling, and everyone went to the Auckland Casino.
The light rain that lasted for a day ended in the early morning. Wang Bo chose to climb the mountain and teamed up with Motak, Leonard and others.
After breakfast in the morning, they prepared their luggage and started a mountain climbing journey.
This time, we had to stay in the mountain for a few days, so the group, regardless of gender, age, carried heavy luggage. Wang Bo carried two tents, stoves, pots and other tools, and his backpack was more than fifty kilograms.
Dapang and Erpang also carried small bags on their backpacks, as if they were wearing explosives. Their backpacks contained small things such as sunscreen and mosquito repellent.
Wang Bo and Eva walked at the end of the team, holding hands, chatting softly while walking.
The forest is full of birds and insects, and wild flowers appear on the road from time to time. After a while, the fat cat brothers were quiet, they climbed up on the mountain with their short legs.
This time their purpose is New Zealand's largest alpine lake, called Manapori Lake, which is "Sad Lake" in Maori. This lake is surrounded by mountains and has a large area, close to 200 square kilometers, about 29 kilometers long, and the deepest part is 443 meters.
It is said that it is beautiful to overlook the lake from the top of the mountain, and their goal is to climb to the point where the mountain can overlook the sad lake and stop and camp.
Wang Bo followed them all the way, but because Eva had to go back to work tomorrow, they would stop at noon and camp and rest. At dawn, they chose to go down the mountain and send Eva away.
There are 25 rare or endangered plants in the Fjord National Park, 22 endemic plants in this park, and 21 plants in the small distribution area, concentrated in the fjord area.
Among them, two-thirds of the area here is covered with pristine beech and pineal sacs. The most common tree they saw on the road was, but after climbing for a while, the pineal sacs began to appear.
In the dense forest of Ruimu's pine, many animals and birds live here, including many squirrels.
Everyone would not disturb these animals, but the Fat Cat Brotherhood, they were both naughty and powerful. After discovering a squirrel, they immediately chased after them.
The squirrels had seen Dapang and Erpang with short legs and fat bodies, and had things tied to them, so they didn't take them seriously.
But immediately, they understood one truth, that is, they should not underestimate their opponents at any time.
Rabbits are indeed not good at running flat ground, but they are good at climbing mountains and ridges! Especially in dense forests, they run and jump and jump, and move forward and backward as fast as the wind!
Erpang climbed up a big pine tree. Wang Bo was worried that it would fall down at first, but it was very flexible. After climbing up, he chased a squirrel and finally ran back, holding a dying red squirrel in his mouth.
Running to Wang Bo, it opened its mouth and released the little squirrel. The little squirrel tried hard to get up and wanted to run, but Erpang immediately went and slapped it to the ground with a slap. The fat face was smug.
Eva mentioned it to let the little squirrel limp away. If it wasn't for food, there was no need to hurt these little animals.
Then the fat man ran out with something in his arms. Seeing the squirrel limping away, his eyes turned and put down the prey in his mouth.
